For what it's worth many Tranes use fittings on their compressors. They take a teflon o-ring that is not reusable but only costs a couple bucks. Sure makes it a piece of cake to replace the compressor.

You can still buy r22 components. The outside unit is considered a "component". But they do not come pre-charged, they come with a little nitrogen in them. So you have to vacuum the unit as well as the lines and inside coil.
